This piece is extremely emotional for me. I don’t understand why I never see it on top movie soundtracks lists, it’s such a powerful piece!

[@ItsMrConnor]

Same. It’s because you have memories attached with it. For me it’s Dumbledore’s death and Snape’s tragic story.

[@angadchanna658]

It' the same for me too. Tears roll out from my eyes everytime I listen to this.

[@gus_ggt]

I have heard a lot of sad pieces and this song is my most emotional ever

[@martinkenny7091]

This and farewell by Djawani

[@darthvader5532]

@@gus_ggt for myself, it's Casper's Lullaby, the chorus overlaying the conversation between oboe, base flute and clarinet is just too heavy. It's a beautiful piece that moves you from angst, to sadness, to hope, to despair then acceptance. It's a musical narrative that follows the stages of grief.

Strings and choirs are making it so emotional, I love it

[@desilabianca6481]

Love it but the choir is soooo loud. You can barely hear the orchestra😭

[@lorenzosabatino7007]

Exactly, its not as good as the original

[@Widow-Cicada]

Came here to say that. In terms of dynamic range, the piece starts low and ends high. The voices didn’t get the moment I guess lol

[@f.miller801]

EQ done fuck it up

[@jakobandersen3944]

I feel it adds to the experience.

[@mais_oui2301]

Besides, so many flat notes!!

[@Emma-sf9gt]

this is beautiful...

[@Slashfart]

So epic but the high pitch sound at 2:00 made me throw my headset to the ground

[@vampyrkiller]

😂

[@BobDude65]

Thank god it wasn't just me lol, I thought my headset was broken. Thanks for the 2 year old reassurance lol.

The sound balancing is really off. The choir is drowning out the orchestra. I can barely hear the cello solo, which is the best part of this piece.

[@secretblue0290]

This is good, except the choir is too pronounced

[@JS90able]

The orchestra is amazing. It‘s so emotional! The choir isn‘t that good, they have problems with the intonation, particularly the soprano is too low. That‘s a pity.

[@hardivora1468]

Too loud choir...!

[@danielloughran2527]

Am I the only one who thinks this should be half a beat slower? It just seems so rushed,
